Putah Creek Fly Fishing

Rossflyguy · Rossflyguy

Caught 2 and moved one that was easily over 2'. Didnt see a whole lot of fish activity. Not sure if this is concerning especially with the bass population? Did manage to pull a 23-25" to make up for the low numbers. I'll take that one fish any day of the year. -- Edited by Rossflyguy on Saturday 19th of Augu...

Anyone else going to give it a shot? I am curious to know if the fish are willing to play Monday. Hoping the event doesn't throw things off for a few days afterwards. However, we could get two morning hatches...

New member here. Decided to stop by to get a couple hours of fishing in and I found some sunglasses today (Sunday, Aug 13). If you lost sunglasses please describe them and I will gladly return them. - Derek

Always been curious as to why a lot of the bows I catch at PC have large orange slits under their chin. I've seen it almost exclusively on all the fish I catch larger than 16". I know they aren't cutbows, just thought it was interesting and haven't seen it on any other large Bows I've caught in CA. Could it be...

Hey fishing folks, if anyone is near access point 5 please keep a look out for a brown 4 1/2 ft section of a fly rod. I lost it today on the opposite side of the road on the trail. it's a bit of an heirloom and I searched for an hour with no luck

Happy fishing and thank you!

I was fishing between access 4 and 5 last Monday and had pretty good response from the fish to the flies I was offering. It started from the time I got there and lasted to the time I left. Caught 13 fish in 5 hours. Not a impressive amount but a lot better than I have done lately. It was actually the best day at P...

Anyone know what fly these are? They kind of look like PMD's. I also saw a couple nice sized caddis, much bigger than the bugs I normally see. Olive bodies with black heads and darker wings. I tried fishing a fox's caddis nymph which matched it really well, but no hookups on it.

Yet another fire next to the creek. This marks 4 summers in a row. It went from 80 acres this afternoon to 1000 this evening. At this point it is 15% contained with a DC-10 ordered. Hopefully it is undercontrol by tomorrow.

I was driving home from Deer Creek when I saw a big plume of smoke over Winters. And now I hear that yet again, there's another grass fire. I wish that God would cut that place some slack.

...but not many fish. I only caught 1 fish. Wet waded because of the heat. The good thing is that there were tons of flies coming off. BWO's and some other tan and olive mayflies. And they were coming off consistently from 3-8 PM. I'm not sure why I couldn't find the fish, though, because there were...

Hey Guys, caught a guy using power bait at section 1 on Friday. I informed him of the regulations and he apologized and left. He said he had no clue it wasn't allowed. Right after that I found four containers of worms and other trash left on the bank (I filled my net up with all the litter). Can we get more sig...

Hey everybody, Ted here visiting from Houston, TX. My sister is getting married on Saturday so we decided to make a week of it and got a house in Sonoma. It a beautiful place but it's wine country and I don't drink... I was hoping to get into some fish while I was here and brought my gear. I went to Lelands but...

Decided to escape the heat of Sacramento for the next few days and headed out to Half Moon. Anyone know if there are still any resident fish in the creeks just south Half Moon Bay? San Gregorio, Butano, Pescadero Etc.

Finally found some fish! I caught 4 out of a little riffle with a nice little ledge/chute in it. Then I went cold for a few hours and then it turned on! I caught 4-5 fish on the next 10-12 casts. It was super fun! Most in the 12" range.

Skol Bandit · Skol Bandit

Where are they hiding?!?! Fished brown, green, red, black in multiple patterns. Nothing. I think there were some BWO's coming off. Some other tiny mays, too.

Long stupid story about why I was hand lining him in the last few feet to get into my tiny net...but, bottom line, he broke my line off while actually in my net and flopped out.

Do you guys have more success fishing with beads or no beads on your flies? I personally like the wd-40 and pheasant tail no bead.

I have seen 5 people over the past three days wading with no wading belt on . In each instance I have warned the person that in water like this if you fall in you will DIE. While I fully understand that we are free to do as we wish regarding personal safety, the dad in me insists that I at least say something. I r...

A chilly and windy day at access #5. Wind blew relentlessly all morning and early afternoon. I did manage to catch 3 fish on small nymphs (the usual 18 to 20 size nymphs) and one fish swinging a wet fly, one of my favorite methods to fish for trout. It was a smallish fish, quickly in and back in the water, but...

I fished #3 for only about 90 mins yesterday. I tried some bigger stuff just for fun. Nothing. Then, switched to the regular tiny stuff and caught 1 little guy, but that's it. Anything unusual working for you guys?

Hoping to make it out tomorrow. Got a new Tenkara rod to try out, Iwana 12. Any advice on where to go? What to avoid? Really looking forward to just getting in the water and being outside for a bit.
